Four student travel awards (US$800) will be available to support participation at the 46th international SPR meeting in Philadelphia, USA.

Student members of LA-SPR are eligible to apply for a travel award if: (a) they are master or doctoral students; (b) they are in good standing in their graduate program (and they will still be a student at the time of their presentation), (c) their SPR membership is current, (d) they are first author on a paper or poster presentation, and (f) they will register for and attend the conference to present their work and receive their award in person.

Applications should include a cover page, an abstract of the presentation, a short CV, the accreditation of the student status, and the accreditation of current SPR membership. As soon as available, the acceptance letter from the SPR meeting should be added.

Applications will be received by the chapter president (mkrause@uc.cl), until January 1, 2015 and reviewed by the Latin American Student Award Committee.

Notifications of award winners will be sent in March 2015.

Awarded students are expected to write a brief report about the Conference, to be published in the chapter’s newsletter.
